They got Jel-Low Puddin’ Man—
one less backwards Taliban
treating women like beasts—
Packs of predator priests
next they’re comin’ for you—
your whole predator Krew
silver bracelets, orange
jumpsuit await you too!
Hey Mr. Tangerine Man—
They’re comin’ for you next
Before you tweet or text
Hey Mr. Tangerine Man—
your FOX-hole country
only needs one tree
Hey Mr. Tangerine Man—
let Miss Piggy root
on the toe of your boot
helping you steal and loot…
Hey Mr. Tangerine Man—
empire’s vanishing sands
paper towel tossing hands
Hey Mr. Tangerine Man—
peacock prancin’ U.N.
flaunting rule of men
Locking kids in cages
this Orangest of Ages
Hey Mr. Tangerine Man—
pale skull and crossbone
in the Twilight Zone
you’re a U.N. joke—
World’s way too woke!
